Properties

ConversionSkippedBecauseProjectAlreadyConverted	Gets a value indicating whether the last attempted conversion was skipped because the project file is already in the latest format.
ConversionWarnings	Gets a list of warnings generated during the conversion.
IsMinorUpgrade	This method (and the whole namespace) is deprecated. Please use the classes in these namespaces instead: Microsoft.Build.Construction Microsoft.Build.Evaluation Microsoft.Build.Execution Is the conversion a minor upgrade operation? Minor upgrade also means the converted project file can be opened in old VS as well, so we won't update the tools version.
IsUserFile	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the project file being converted is a .user file.
NewProjectFile	Gets or sets the new project file name.
OldProjectFile	Gets or sets the old project file name.
SolutionFile	Gets or sets the name of the solution file that contains the project being converted.

Methods

Convert()	Converts the project specified by the OldProjectFile property and saves it in the file specified by the NewProjectFile property.
Convert(ProjectLoadSettings)	Obsolete. Converts the project specified by the OldProjectFile property and saves it in the file specified by the NewProjectFile property.
Convert(String)	Obsolete. This is the entry point method, which performs the project file format conversion. This method will overwrite "newProjectFile" if it already exists, so the caller of this method should confirm with the user if that's what they really want to do.
ConvertInMemory()	Creates a new project in memory from the OldProjectFile.
ConvertInMemory(Engine, ProjectLoadSettings)	Obsolete. This is the entry point method, which performs the project file format conversion. This method will simply create a new MSBuild Project object in memory, instead of trying to write it to disk.
ConvertInMemory(Engine)	Obsolete. Creates a new project in memory from the OldProjectFile.
FSharpSpecificConversions(Boolean)	Performs conversions specific to F# projects (VS2008 CTP -> VS2012) and (VS2010 -> VS2012). This involves: changing the location of FSharp targets, and for 2008CTP, adding explicit mscorlib and FSharp.Core references.
